I would like to buy this set from you, can you guarantee this item will be well-packaged? Soft-core pencils can break pretty easy.

I have the 132 pencils, what is the difference, and why 18 pencils make the 150 pencils set 40 dolars more expensive? Do you happen to know which colours are extra? Do you have in stock? Thank you.

yes its well packaged. from 150 color i only had a 1 lead break, the quality vs price vs quantity its really really good.

I just recieved my pencils and some had the wood split down the middle making them useless.

They have refill pack of leads + erasers that's quite reasonable. The pencils are great -- the leads don't break easily and produce readable writing. My preschooler, 3rd grader, and I all love them. :)

I don't think the core is as soft as a watercolor pencil, I can't speak to a pastel pencil I'be used mine a few times; like them to sketch out my subject since I you can erase if you need to change something before using water of course- I hope this helps

I purchased the set as is from Amazon. Contacting the seller might be a better source for the information you seek.

I have not had to pursue that issue yet. My guess? Office Depot or Office Max or some other type of store that carries a decent supply of office equipment. Not the greatest answer, right?? It's the only answer I have since I haven't used up even the first pencil (used it a lot...still haven't had to go to another pencil in the set yet).

These pencils come in a tin. I think when they say 'wooden case' pencils on the main page - they actually mean that the the 'lead' of the coloured pencils themselves are encased in wood - just like your ordinary pencils - not that the pencils themselves come in a wooden box.

no it has not affected the quality of the pencils. I use mine often and they work very well. Do get a good sharpner...if you dont use a quality sharpner you will ruin your pencil...hope that helps.

Inherently this is a manufacturing defect or damaged in shipment. My set works very well with no issues.

I bought this about 3 months ago and only 1 of the colors was superficially damaged, and I bought this from central América, so I'm pretty satisfied with the packing.I hope this helps :-)

Hello Jorge, happy new year. I believe the set is pretty sturdy, but I do try to protect it. I don't think pens/pencils would do any damage. The only damage I've had so far came from someone knocking over a chair (a small splinter came off). Smudges do show on the dark surface, but this usually happens on dark surfaces any way :). I have so far been very happy with the product, splinter and all.

sorry. I haven't done that kind of work. But I still maintain these pencils can't be sharpened no matter what you use them for.

I have a set of four that have never been used. If I sell one from the set it will be difficult for me to sell the rest, so if you would like to purchase all four, I would gladly sell them to you

if you get a really good pencil sharpener they will be good- I found that with my old sharpener, they did break- but now I have a very good heavy sharpener that sharpens these pencils to a sharp point and they do not break.

I really do not know, Phyllis. What you might do is to reach out to the vendor(s) and put the question to them. I do know that if they DO ship it to you, you'll be happy with this set. It's really beautiful.

Thank you. Yeah, I've already bought an extra pack just for the erasers. Now I've got pencils with no erasers, which is a sad waste. I just emailed Papermate and will hopefully get a positive response! Thanks again.

Since each one in the pack breaks down to a little more than a dollar plus change, I don't plan to refill. I'll dispose of the spent pencil and move on...It's not like it's an expense mechanical pencil.
